The recent death of Canada’s former prime minister, Pierre Elliott Trudeau, represents the loss of a tremendous intellect and a great statesman, who helped hold Canada together during a trying time. Well-educated, Trudeau was the epitome of bilingualism.

A five-part CBC series about this great leader to the north brought tears to my eyes.

Unfortunately, the adventures of his much younger wife detracted from the multiplicity of his lasting contributions and accomplishments. But who can forget Trudeau? William R. Sawtell Brownville
